European indices kick start the day with solid gains at the open

Forex Short News
  • Eurostoxx +1.3%
  • Germany DAX +1.5%
  • France CAC 40 +1.0%
  • UK FTSE +0.7%
  • Spain IBEX +1.2%
  • Italy FTSE MIB +1.3%

That especially in having to play catch up to the late gains in Wall Street on Friday as well, which came after the European close. Investors are cheering on the increased possibility of the US government shutdown ending, hence the more positive mood. S&P 500 futures are also up 0.7% today after the rebound at the end of last week.
